Energy Absorption
Energy Absorption
(OP)
Hi All,
I am trying to output the energy absorption of structure using Ansys. Is there a way to do it... Any help is really appreciated...
Thanks,
SAM

RE: Energy Absorption
the energy absorption should be equal the kinematic + elastic + plastic deformation energy for a mechanical system.
See the command ETAB for a way computing these energies.

RE: Energy Absorption
Thanks for the input, I did post processing(energy) for both the elements and nodes.When I did that it gives me different output(for example SEPL, SRAT, HPRE, EPEQ, CREQ, PLWK etc.,) I searched the entire help for the Acronyms,but its of no use. Can you through some light on those Acronyms(SEPL, SRAT,etc.,) for which I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
SAM
RE: Energy Absorption
How did you computed the energies on nodes???
Strain energy and kinetic energy can only be computed on elements with stiffness and mass, or I am missing something??

RE: Energy Absorption
Sorry for the confusion, I was referring to the elements output itself. But, when you see the general post process for nodal solution -> energy I see all the acronyms and that is what I was referring to. I hope this is clear and heads up on this...
Thanks,
Sam
